fog light question

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I think I've got a burned our bulb or worse, a wiring issue. My left ( steering wheel side ) fog light wil not come on when I follow the directions in the manual. The right one is on, so I think I'm doing it it properly, but......?
I don't get any message telling me a bulb is out, or any malfunction, so
I'm shouting out to more experienced hands to give me a shove in the
right direction.
Thanks,

I had visually the same problem, it was the bulb. Check the condition of your bulb.

Thanks for the info

I'm hoping it's just the bulb and not a wiring issue.
Is there an "easy" way to access that bulb ?
Thanks again

Yes. You remove the plastic cover underneath the car to get to the foglight assembly, and you can twist/pull the bulb from there. There is no from-the-top way to access it.

Good news for a change.

Thanks Josh. That's good news. I looked at that area from the top, and
it looked like I'd need to hire a guide to get through all the stuff in there before I got to the bulb.
Thanks again
